Dreaming Pink Due Date Group: TTC and Beyond #2

[bunnywabbit]

Bunnywabbit....how are you feeling? I "might" have read in another thread that you are not experiencing the wide range of symptoms....lol, I had the least m/s with my oldest...most with the middle and a decent amount this time around. How is the MIL visit going??

I'm not too bad at all, thank you! No real nausea anymore, only if I eat something I don't really feel for or if I get really hungry. Trying to keep my water intake up but I find if I'm hungry filling up with water makes me nauseous too. Doing my best! Apart from that just slightly sore nipples. DH still thinks girl. My gut instinct says boy though...

MiL's visit is done! Wasn't too bad this time. Decided to tell her (and other immediate family) we were expecting - she was so excited and had a little cry when she saw the early scans. She'd apparently lost a few babies herself so understands. She even eased off with bothering me like she usually does. Oh, she'll be back in January, so she can help sort some storage for the ton of stuff DH and I are having to live with so it's a little easier to plan for baby's stuff. And March. Oh, and June! Would have been nice to have a little more rest and 'couple' time to potter about and do what we need to do before baby is due...

I'm so sorry you're ill. I've had varying degree of the same sticking cold since a couple of weeks before I o'd. Driving me nuts! You must be feeling pretty miserable - I hope it clears and you're better soon. Would manuka honey and paracetamol help? Maybe throw in there the odd pro-biotic/live yoghurt or yoghurt drink.

I think we need more pics on our thread, I want to know you all better! So here's my bump pics to start us off ;D
17 weeks

Lovely bumps! Your bump at 17 weeks looks like mine at 9 weeks (tomorrow), although mine's not as tidy. Not baby, just put on a load of tummy size. Have given up wearing belts although I still kinda need them - they're so uncomfortable. Feel so bloated!

[bunnywabbit]

Meeks, I totally get this. This is the main reason I'm thinking of staying team green - to be told one thing, then have it changed, then think you see something else would drive me insane. At least with team green it is what it is - no chopping, changing and insanity.

...Give me a few weeks, I'll probably change my mind and want to know!

The headache that accompanied my cold is making me crazy...and grumpy...and braindead! I will try to get a last preggo bump pic, I am thinking that I will have this baby sooner than later.....lol, this is my way to jinx myself into a closer to term baby!!!!

Bunnywabbit.....it is good to connect to MIL, hope that you get some time with your man. I almost can't remember life before kids....and I don't feel bad about that!!! Sorry to go off on a tangent...I love my hubby, but I enjoy this young family life....and the cuddles today are going to my heart and head!!!

Pumpkin...I love your new family pix....what a gorgeous family you will be adding those twinks too!!!!

Sorry for the lack of personals or forgetting people...my head is throbbing.

Yesterday was a prenatal visit....she did check for dilation, but as of right now, it looks as though this baby wants to stay put. I am trying my best to get rid of the sickness before baby arrives

Ladybugs sorry you aren't showing more signs of going soon, I know how much everyone just wants baby out by 36 weeks plus. I remember hoping like mad I would go early both times. Fx for a swift and safe arrival to all those due in December. I just checked and Charlee, Dream and Tree are all due that second week of December so not long at all!

[Tree]

And I'm totally fed up of being in pregnant and all the aches and pains and lack of sleep that go with it!!
Slightly dreading labour though, third tile round you kinda know what's coming...

I'm actually due 'officially' on the 5th Dec!! I don't agree & by prog/ov/pg test believe I'm due on the 11th but my scans/fundal height etc all say the 5th

I'm only 11 days away from when the docs start the clock ticking as it were. Urgh! Come on little one!! I really don't mind being pregnant even at this stage as once you've had a preemie at 30 weeks going full-term is soooo much better than being stuck in hospital with a poorly baby that you can't take home. I'm just glad that I'm not due another 2lb-er & am happy to put up with the discomfort for however long it takes. We won't be pregnant forever!

Btw I'm getting some nice strong & fairly regular BH of an evening! It's exciting especially when they force me to practise my breathing. I keep dreaming that I've lost my mucus plug too, even though I haven't. I'm so excited to go into labour & try on my own without having to be delivered of my baby on an operating table - I soooo hope my vbac works this time!

How exciting! Come on da babies!!

I'm soooo wanting this little lady to turn the hell around already! I'm sick of being kicked in the foofy and the bladder, it's most unpleasant :/

[I Love Ladybugs]

For me, I too am ok with the being preggo part.....what is fueling my desire to meet baby is to know that all is fine with the "3%" stat on chromosomal issues...it has been on my mind a lot more since the last trip down to Vancouver and I just want to know that all is well. My hubby teases me that I am not allowed to go into labour on Black Friday or Cyber Monday....that shopaholic wants me to choose a day other than that!!!

We are all so close...and even those like you Meeks/Myrainbowgirl who are due in Feb....not that far now!!!!!!!
